HB 2033 (2022) Emergency Vehicles in Work Zones
Many emergency vehicles have flashing red lights to improve visibility, but that’s not always enough to ensure that they’re being seen, particularly at night. This legislation allows working fire agency vehicles to utilize rear facing blue lights while stationary, because blue light travels farther and is easier to see. The goal is to make sure that firefighters and paramedics are safer when working on or along our roadways.
SHB 1893 (2022) EMTs/Public Health
This bill codifies a Provisional Emergency Services Provider Certificate that allows EMTs to provide specific care, including vaccinations that falls within the scope of their training under the direction of the Department of Health. It also modifies the scope of EMT practice to include collaborative medical care in agreement with public health agencies as long as it falls within the parameters of their training outside of a state of emergency.
HB 1277 (2023) Paraeducator Course of Study
As a parent, it’s always been important to be able to trust that the people who are working with my kids every day have the training they need to be able to do their jobs effectively. The same goes for those paraeducators. This legislation ensures there is a clear timeline and appropriate access to that training, to provide the best possible experience for paraeducators, parents/guardians and our kiddos.
HB 1728 (2023) Statewide Resiliency Program
In Washington State, we can face many different kinds of emergencies and disasters. This bill allows the Emergency Management Division of the Military Department to create an office of resiliency, to help become better prepared for major events before they strike. This keeps Washingtonians safer and can decrease damage, recovery time and costs by allowing for proactive measures.
HB 1771 (2024) Relocation Assistance for Mobile Homes
Washington has a program that helps those who are faced with the closure of their mobile home communities to remove or relocate their units, but the timelines provided in the initial program didn’t reflect the actual time it would take to move/remove the property. This resulted in impacted individuals being unable to utilize the program.
This bill adjusted the timelines to ensure that the program worked as intended.
ESHB 2384 (2024) Traffic Safety Cameras
Most accidents in Washington State are caused by excessive speed, intoxication, distracted driving or some combination of those factors. This legislation expands a pilot program across the state to address excessive speed in certain areas by authorising municipalities to utilize traffic cameras to identify speeding vehicles. Cameras and their data must be managed within very specific guidelines, including location selection, processing time, data access and citation amounts, and the disposition of proceeds for traffic safety improvements.
SHB1081 (2025) – Solicited Real Estate Transactions
Have you ever seen signs or gotten phone calls from people who say they want to buy your home, even though you haven’t listed it for sale?
This bill provides guardrails to make it much more difficult for predatory companies or individuals to take advantage of vulnerable homeowners by allowing for real estate appraisals and an opportunity to decline the transaction based on that information.
HB 1304 (2025) Boundary Review Board Filings
This bill increases efficiency by ensuring that requests submitted to Boundary Review Boards are addressed in a timely manner to prevent enquiries from being overlooked or ignored.
ESHB 1878 (2025) Young Driver Safety
When a new driver goes through drivers’ education before getting their license, they tend to be safer drivers throughout the rest of their lives. In Washington, this training was only required for kids who wanted to get their licenses before they turned 18, however data shows a clear, significant increase in serious accidents for those young people who skipped that training by waiting until they were 18 to drive.
This legislation will require anyone under the age of 25 who wants to get a WA drivers license to go through training, if they have not already gone through a similar training elsewhere.
This bill creates new business opportunities and more jobs by increasing the number of driver training options there are state wide, because not all areas have driver training schools. . It also includes a voucher system to ensure that the ability to pay is not a barrier to access. It’s designed to go into effect gradually to prevent bottlenecks, and to make sure all of the steps move smoothly. When fully implemented this legislation is expected to prevent thousands of serious accidents annually.
HB 2624 (2026) Unsolicited Real Estate Transactions
The goal of HB 1081 was to prevent bad actors from taking advantage of Washington homeowners, and every attempt was made to exclude organizations that had oversight or extended processes that didn’t fit within the time frames presented in the policy. After the legislation was implemented it was determined that conservancies acquiring property for public benefit, which require specific oversight did not fit within the framework of the enacted law. This bill addresses that.
SHB 2360 (2026) Albuterol Access in Schools
Being in respiratory distress can be terrifying – even more so for our children. It can also be deadly if not addressed quickly.
This legislation focuses on allowing (but not requiring) schools to have school/district-owned albuterol on site for use in an emergency when a student is assessed by appropriate medical personnel as being in respiratory distress, with clearly defined guardrails.
